2:09-cv-2448-LRH-RJJ
ORDER

Before the court is defendant Floyd Mayweather, Jr.’s (“Mayweather, Jr.”) objection to the

16

magistrate judge’s June 16, 2011 order (Doc. #1241) denying his motion for a protective order to

17

prevent his deposition on June 17, 2011 (Doc. #122). Doc. #125.

18

Local Rule IB 3-1 authorizes a district judge to reconsider any pretrial matter referred to a

19

magistrate judge pursuant to LR IB 1-3 where it has been shown that the magistrate judge’s order is

20

clearly erroneous or contrary to law. Here, Mayweather, Jr. objects to the magistrate’s order

21

(Doc. #124) and claims that he will be unable to attend the scheduled deposition, but fails to

22

provide any basis for how the magistrate’s order is clearly erroneous or contrary to law. See

23

Doc. #125. Further, Mayweather, Jr. does not provide any points and authorities in support of his

24

motion, other than to state that this court should reverse the magistrate’s order. Thus, based on the

25
26

1

Refers to the court’s docket number.

1

record before the court and Mayweather, Jr.’s failure to comply with the LR IB 1-3, the court finds

2

that his motion is without merit and shall deny it accordingly.
